This privacy policy explains what information ShopFloorCalc (“the site,” “we”) collects when you visit shopfloorcalc.com, how that information is used, and the choices you have. By using the site, you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
ShopFloorCalc does not require accounts, logins, or personal information to use any tool on the site. The calculators run entirely in your browser, and the values you enter are not transmitted to or stored by us.
We do collect standard, anonymized usage data through analytics and advertising services (described below). This typically includes:
- Pages viewed and time spent on each page
- Approximate geographic location (country/region, derived from IP address)
- Device type, browser, operating system, and screen size
- Referring website or search query that brought you to the site
Cookies and Tracking
ShopFloorCalc uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixel tags) to operate analytics and serve advertising. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that allow services to recognize your browser across visits. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in your settings; doing so will not affect the functionality of the calculators on this site.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects information such as the pages you view, how long you stay, and the path you take through the site. This information is aggregated and used to improve the calculators and prioritize new tools. IP addresses are processed by Google and may be anonymized depending on configuration. You can opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s browser opt-out add-on.
Advertising
ShopFloorCalc uses advertising to keep the calculators free. We work with Google AdSense (or an equivalent advertising partner) to serve advertisements on the site. These services and their partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites, including personalized advertising based on inferred interests.
You can manage how Google personalizes ads at adssettings.google.com, and you can opt out of personalized advertising from many other vendors at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.
Third-Party Services
The site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may log standard request information when your browser fetches a font file. No personal account information is exchanged with Google Fonts.
Children’s Privacy
ShopFloorCalc is intended for a general professional and technical audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding the personal information processed by analytics and advertising partners, including the right to access, correct, or delete that information, and the right to opt out of certain types of processing. The opt-out links above are the most direct way to exercise those choices for the third-party services used by this site.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated from time to time as the site or its service providers change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
